Tuesday happens to be the day that NFL teams traditionally bring in players for tryouts, which means that Johnson’s tweet caught the eye of some folks at Philly.com who thought that the trip might have something to do with the Eagles. Jeremy Maclin is still being bothered by a hip injury, DeSean Jackson missed practice last week with a hamstring injury and Riley Cooper has been out with a broken collarbone, which could mean they are in the market for help at receiver and taking a look at Johnson.

It could also mean that Johnson has a hankering to see where Trading Places was set or some other reason for being in Philly, so no one should be jumping to any grand conclusions based off a tweet. A tweet on Monday from Johnson to Skip Bayless of ESPN said that he was taking a year off to “work on me,” which seems like a good idea given the ugly incident with his wife that precipitated his departure from the Dolphins.

We’ll keep you posted should any other information come to light about Johnson’s latest voyage.

I just hope he can rebuild his rep…everyone makes mistakes and hopefully this changes his life. I wish the guy would have never married that crazy chic but hey cant change the past now. he has accepted his mistake owned up to it and said he has to lay in the bed he made…To me accountability and ownership is the 1st step… Good luck to you bro and think positive….

Just put Riley Cooper on the darn IR. He wasnt that good to begin with. If Chad can come in and catch 3 balls per game for the next 3-4 games, it would do us a world of good with our depleted receiver corps.

This has absolutely nothing to do with the Eagles. He’s done. If Johnson couldn’t learn the playbook on the Patriots, why in gods name would Philly even consider them? They signed Gilyard back and Cooper will be practicing soon.

What a great movie that was!! Eddie Murphy goes from bum to overnight success & Dan Akroyd goes from being on top of the world. To then being a street bum!! And who could forget Akroyd drunk in the Santa Claus suit getting all that food caught in his beard!!! LMAO

It’s cool that he may make a roster that needs WR help, but I think he is foolish to post it on Twitter. That is one of the reasons he is not on a team already. Even as a Cowboys fan, I sincerely hope he is able to play and play well. I think he was railroaded in the incident with his ex-wife. Even on the trashy show BB wives – she said that he could find other women if A) He wore condoms and B)She would let her know. They had women already in their relationship. She is a nut, he just tries to hard to be funny. Stick to football Johnson.

Part of what’s happened to Chad is the same as happens to other many aging receivers (T.O. etc. ) – they’ve lost their connection to the
ball itself. With that you get drops that wouldn’t have occurred earlier in their careers.

Of course with Johnson poor route running and not learning the playbook compounds any chance with a new team. Did he have that problem at Cincy too, or did he just fall into a system that fit his talent and work habits? Carson Palmer could clear this up.
